I've just come across these links and they are a bit annoying, though avoidable. How do i remove them from my browsers? I have fixed the Chrome incident, but Firefox still alludes me. I have tried the simple methods (remove extensions) and four different malware/virus programs as well as opting out from the companies, but this doesn't seem to work. Are they at all harmful or just more advertising...that is my main question other than their removal.

My username is LiquidTension, but you can call me Adam. I will be assisting you with your malware-related problems.
If you would allow me to call you by your first name I would prefer that.

P2P WARNING

------------------------------

I see you have peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing software installed on your computer (uTorrent & BitTorrent). I advise you avoid P2P file sharing programmes; they are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to malware. File sharing networks are thoroughly infected and infested with malware - worms, backdoor Trojans, IRCBots, and rootkits propagate via P2P file sharing networks, gaming, and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans, and spyware. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and not use P2P applications. Please read the following articles for more information.

hey, adam...no, everything seems to be fine...i have come to accept the underlined green words on sites that allow the advertising...mostly sites that i do not visit unless i am tractor beamed into nonsense and pop culture

i see it as more of a slight on the sites advertising blitz...i just opted out of the ads and just don't hover on the words
